EA Global: Bay Area 2024 (Global Catastrophic Risks)

Applications are now open (here)! Deadline: 21st Jan 2024

EA Global brings together a wide network of people who have made helping others a core part of their lives. Speakers and attendees share new thinking and research in the field of effective altruism and coordinate on global projects.

This San Francisco Bay Area event will:

• Have talks, workshops, meetups, and so on solely focused on risks from AI and other GCRs; as well as cross-cause efforts such as policy and community-building that are relevant to reducing these risks.
• Be designed for attendees working focused on GCRs or meta/other areas (such as software engineering, law, or community building) where they expect their work to contribute to GCR reduction efforts.

As in previous years, we’ll just have one admissions process across all EA Global events, and we’ll just invite attendees to self-select. That is, for attendees focusing on other areas, you’ll be welcome to apply for this Bay Area event, we just expect it’ll be less useful for you.
